Since he had plenty of time while they were crossing the stages, he decided to test some skills that he obtained lately. The main one that he wanted to level up was the Instantaneous Forge, one of the skills he obtained after defeating Hephaestus. Weirdly enough, he just thought of creating a regular sword, and then when the skill was activated, he obtained it.
Short Sword
Strength + 10, Speed + 10
Durability: 10/10
Although the speed of creation was insane, the mana consumed was much larger than expected… Ryan assumed that it was due to the parts of the sword that were made of some sort of material that Ryan couldn't create with his other skills. After that, Ryan tried to use Seal on the monsters, but the skill didn't work… since it was a world created by an illusion, or at least it looked like one. The monsters didn't have souls.
